The coronavirus pandemic has shifted many of our interactions online, with Zoom video calls replacing in-person classes, work meetings, conferences and other events. Will all that screen time damage ...

A research team from the Vision and Action Laboratory, Visual Perception and Cognition Laboratory, and Cognitive ...

Neuroscientists uncover how the visual cortex builds consensus, rapidly weeding out conflicting sensory signals to form unified perceptions.

Visual perception emerges from a cascade of neural transformations that begin with photoreceptors in the retina and proceed via the lateral geniculate nucleus to primary visual cortex (V1), thereafter ...

Sounds can alter the way the brain interprets what it sees. This is the key finding of a new study by SISSA researchers in Trieste, published in PLOS Computational Biology. The research shows that, ...

A new computational model shows how cortical feedback slashes neural chaos by 93%, explaining how our vision stays stable despite fluctuating brain activity.

"We don't yet know how this variation in visual temporal resolution might affect our day-to-day lives, but we believe that individual differences in perception speed might become apparent in ...

Audio cues can not only help us to recognize objects more quickly but can even alter our visual perception. That is, pair birdsong with a bird and we see a bird -- but replace that birdsong with a ...

Motion perception plays a fundamental role in our daily visual experience; it is critical for computing the speed and direction of moving objects and controlling our own body and eye movements. Motion ...

Are our senses there to provide us with the most complete representation of the world, or do they serve our survival? For a long time, the former was the dominant view in neuroscience. "Was" is the ...

Past research has suggested that people's cultural differences may result in differences in basic visual perception. New research found no evidence that these differences play a significant role in ...

To what extent has Earth’s gravity shaped our cognitive and brain functions? Utilizing spaceflight and a ground-based analog, a new study shows that the human brain relies on bodily gravitational ...
